One aspect of settlers that was really handy - in my opinion - was the opportunity to minimize any game window. You could keep several important windows (like of your warehouses and headquarters and other stuff) all minimized and pilled in one corner of the screen, just one click away but not blocking the view. I have no idea how hard/easy this is to implement, but if it is feasible I think it would be worth the effort.

What do you think?

There is something similar to this in WL:
Have you tried the MMB (middle mouse button)?
It reduces the windows inside the game window to only the the upper title line.
You can then shift them to the upper border of the main window, where it snaps.


Being no programmer, I apologize for all my suggestions that imply undue workload and for other misjudgements due to lack of expertise or relevant skills.
I am on Win32, have no means to compile, and rely on prefabricated distributions (Thanks to Tino).

Hi Marcelo, face-smile.png

this feature is already implemented. If your mouse has a middle click (or click with mouse wheel), than just middle click the top-bar to minimize/remaximize the window. Alternatively you can hold down CTRL key and left click the top-bar.

Is this what you were looking for, or am I missing something?

Cheers Peter
